Upcoming Show!

Barely a month away, The Sunset Limited marks Working Class Theatre NW's second full length production. After our successful debut of School for Lies last September, we are taking a break from the satirical farce to bring you something more suited for the depths of winter. A meaty play that feeds your brain while your body waits for the days to lengthen and the temperatures to rise.

Sunset Limited is a theatrical offering by renowned author  Cormac McCarthy- famous for such chipper films as The Road (a post apocalyptic father/ son/ cannibal travelogue) and No Country for Old Men ( a modern western nearly Shakespearean in its death toll).  Unlike the majority of his novels (eg. Blood Meridian, All the Pretty Horses, and the Crossing) Sunset Limited takes place not in the expansive ranches or wilderness, but in a cramped apartment in a poverty struck area of town. Black (the apartment dweller) has just rescued White (a local college professor) from throwing himself in front of a train. From that chance meeting, this story explores the depths of faith and conviction that lead these two men on such opposing paths.
